Kenneth Longstreet

Kenneth Longstreet serves as CE Infrastructure Team Lead at the 325th Contracting Squadron (FA4819), under the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the acquisition and sustainment of critical military infrastructure and specialized support services essential to Air Force installation readiness. His portfolio includes the procurement of construction, maintenance, and modernization services for airfield systems, utility networks, and mission-critical facilities, ensuring compliance with DoD resilience standards and aerospace operational requirements. He manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—focusing on complex, multi-year infrastructure projects that align with Air Force Base Infrastructure Modernization initiatives. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Longstreet engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including general contractors, engineering firms, and technical service providers capable of delivering high-reliability infrastructure solutions under strict military specifications. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, integrated project delivery, and stringent compliance with federal construction codes and environmental regulations, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality, timeliness, and mission alignment. Longstreet demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation across multiple categories, including service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and woman-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden supplier diversity while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His primary NAICS focus spans highway and bridge construction (237310), building services (561790), and specialized support services (561990), with notable activity in irradiation apparatus manufacturing (334517) and mattress manufacturing (337910)—reflecting the unique, non-traditional needs of military housing and environmental control systems. This blend underscores his technical expertise in procuring both conventional civil works and niche, mission-specific equipment critical to Air Force operational sustainment.
